The song I chose was Only God Can Judge Me by: Tupac. I chose this song because he is talking about being betrayed and stabbed in the back. He talks about not being able to trust people. I can make a connection to the book because Melinda feels this same way. She got stabbed in the back by a lot of people in her life and it is hard for her to trust people.
Only God can judge me, is that right?
[synth voice] Only God can judge me nowOnly God baby, nobody else, nobody else
All you other motherfuckers get out my business
[Verse One: 2Pac]
Perhaps I was blind to the facts, stabbed in the back
I couldn't trust my own homies just a bunch a dirty rats
Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed
And hocus pocus try to focus but I can't see
And in my mind I'ma blind man doin time
Look to my future cause my past, is all behind me
Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine?
Everybody's dyin tell me what's the use of tryin
I've been Trapped since birth, cautious, cause I'm cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse
And they say it's the white man I should fear
But, it's my own kind doin all the killin here
I can't lie, ain't no love for the other side
Jealousy inside, make em wish I died
Oh my Lord, tell me what I'm livin for
Everybody's droppin got me knockin on heaven's door
And all my memories, of seein brothers bleed
And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees
Recollect your thoughts don't get caught up in the mix
Cause the media is full of dirty tricks
Only God can judge me
cool song! this is true becuase melinda should stop worring about how other people see her.... she should start eating lunch in the cafeteria again becuase if all the other students are pre judging her with out knowing anything of her past then they are not worth her time.
